I'm quite sure some of you have ever participated in a HackerRank contest. And after going to "Compete" page and seeing "ProjectEuler+" as an active contest for about several months or even years you could have wondered "How can it be for so long"?

ProjectEuler is a well-known website with no need for advertising. So, instead of describing countless beautiful features of it, I'd better tell some of its disadvantages for me as a competitive programmer. You see, in my humble opinion, there is no honor in boasting "Oh, my program runs in just two minutes on my modern laptop" when it's possible to write the same program which runs in several milliseconds.

That's why ProjectEuler+ exists. At first glance, you see the exact same statement, but then... multitest? And constraints ten or even thousand times bigger than they were in original problem? And time limit is just a couple of seconds? Well, such rules seem to be more familiar to us.

I wanted to write this blog a month later when we have 200 problems translated from the original PE but recently a problem was created that stays unsolved for a week — the first time we have such problem. So, I invite everyone to participate in ProjectEuler+ and dilute our leaderboard a bit.

Also, I want to ask tourist on behalf of the creator of the 194th problem and the tester of the problem (which is me) to try solving it (and finally give the opportunity for us to finally submit our 100% correct solution which we are not allowed to do until the first accept).

Oh, and by the way, the link: https://www.hackerrank.com/contests/projecteuler/

Like an oddish new year present from PE+ we managed to make 200 problems! I want to invite you to solve them and claim the rightful place in the top of this contest.

As an advertisement, I'd like to cite the words of the one of the problems' creator:

"Project Euler + is the only algorithmic contest that is always open, and you can always find a problem to solve, regardless of your qualifications — from very beginners to the ranks of the top dogs. The contest covers the widest range of mathematical, computer science, and competitive programming topics that can be solved in a couple of dozen different languages."
